Mc Cain chose a woman for a vice president and according to the article I read about Sarah Palin; she has "more experience catching fish than dealing with foreign policy". So let's see how she will do with being the the chosen vice president. Some people around our area were shocked about hearing Mc Cain's decision because they thought he would choose Mitt Romney. However, this is quite early to make judgment, because we can never under estimate a person. People should give her a chance to prove herself. I am interested about hearing her speak; I haven't watched the news yet and saw her making her acceptance speech. Okay, this is all for now.

I am thinking about going to the big lake here, perhaps this weekend. So today we are going to go get a fishing license. It's too bad though that if I get one it will only be good for a year. Now we are buying it a little too late, because it won't be long and the weather will get awfully cold. Well, I just thought of going fishing lately, so I am going anyway. My husband will have to take us to the lake. Goodness, I am bored here at home, so it will be nice to go to a lake and see if we can catch anything. I wish I can catch a salmon...LOL. My husband never take us anywhere except to the store being retired he is always at home, and oh, I find it so boring. So I try to find something to do that I can think of sometimes.

This is for all the women who has loved ones to worry about like myself as one. See, here is this new discovery about how a woman's menstruation can help save a life. The new study done by the research and technology of C'elle proved that the stem cells found in a woman's menstruation can actually cure deadly diseases such as osteoporosis, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Now instead of spending a day at the spa, wouldn't you rather choose to see about how you can help save your loved one's life? You can never know what happens next, you know, so it is always better to be safe than sorry. So you should spend some time looking into what have in store for you. You can purchase a kit to be able to collect your monthly menstruation at the site where you can also find out more about it. If you

A few people already tried to assassinate Barrack Obama. It didn't take long, he is not even a president yet. That says a lot that some people can't accept him just because he is part "Black" as they say-he was fathered by an African descent man. So now his life is at stake because he chose to run for president. I find it sad that people can be so brutal because of the race issue, but I am thankful that the world is not as uncivilized as those in the old days anymore. People are behaving much more respectful of one another compare to what happened long time ago where if someone happens to not like you; you are dead. The people back in those days were hard to deal with, but now it is a little easier. Anyway, I am glad to be apart of this generation and able to see the world as it is. I hope Barrack Obama will be safe and wish him well for what he does trying to make a difference in this country we share now. As for such news source; I read it online and heard it from my husband, you may read his blog entry about it as well if you wish.

My husband's son moved to Colorado Springs and left an Xbox 360 System with us-he actually gave it to us. Well, we tried to use it for our daughter, but then since we are not familiar with it, it took us a while to figure out how it works. The only problem is that, it is missing a few things like accessories, and, course, more games. As for now, we will shop around and compare prices I am glad though that I found a website where we can do just that. We are able to find out more information that we need and learn that it is more reasonable to buy from such site compare to the others we have seen so far. I also found a buying guide like this Video Game Console Buying Guide. I find the Xbox systems expensive but to the gamers who are so into it, Xbox games are so worth it. Xbox games are so popular to not just young people but also to adults as old as my brother law; he does love those online arcade games. He loves playing his games on his laptop, but those games I guess are much different from what Xbox games offer. My husband's grandson is so good at playing the Xbox games. A lot of people are addicted to such games, you know. Also, it is not at all complete without a functional controller like this Sixaxis controller, that is the newest controller available today-the modified version of the one before it, which is what need.

No job for me until now. I applied for a job to a few places so far but never received a call. So I guess I am going to be just home bound for a while. What makes it difficult is the fact that I am lacking the educational background and the ability to drive, or even have my own car. I don't really like working somewhere unless I have my own car and able to go places all on my own. Relying on someone for transportation is no good. However, if I ever get a job I would have to do what I've got to do so I can improve my life and do the things I wished I can someday. As for now, I will keep trying and see if there is room for me to work at all. My life is hectic though I only have two children to look after, but then, it is a job, you know. In life I can only do what I can and do the best I can, so I'll see what happens next. I hope good things will come my way.

We all gather-round and watched Michelle Obama speak last night. Well, I would say she handled it very well and she said everything just perfectly. Everybody liked it, and admire her for her courage to stand out there and speak like she did. She is indeed intelligent and strong. She's got it together. Now that the Democratic first lady is done speaking, we will be waiting for the republican first lady. That will be the next thing America is going to look forward to.As for the candidates between Barrack and Hillary, I didn't have any trouble with either one of them to win as the democratic candidate. So if it was Hillary that won it, it would have been fine, too. See, both of them promised a new change, a woman and with Barrack he is bi-racial, so each of them would bring something new to the table. I mean something new anyway.

My daughters and I have been really eager about going to the beach this summer, but so far we have not gone to any beach yet. Anyway, I heard that in New Jersey there is a nice spot for a family beach vacation, so we would like that. We could use a vacation before school starts again, but so far I can only keep hoping. It's sad that we can't always go anywhere we want to go. I like to go to a place where it is fun and exciting. By the way, for those of you who might be interested in exploring what New Jersey has to offer. Let me tell you how you can find accommodation and a place to visit while there. See, one of the great places you can find there is Morey’s Piers which is indeed a great place for a “New Jersey Vacation” and their website is perfect for finding wildwood hotels motels, that will not only accommodate your budget but will give you a place you deserved while visiting there. Now, check out about the things you can do there and places you can see. Be sure to visit the site though so you can reserve your hotel. You can still go to the beach, you know, as summer is not over yet. In fact, we are thinking about going fishing soon.

It's early in the morning but I wanted to finish something I started so, I stayed up a bit. I usually wake up late anyway; mid day. I also got suckered for a survey that went on and one just because I can win some money...LOL. But I know I won't and I am wasting my time. I used to play a groupolotto before back in 1999 and you know I actually won a dollar...LOL. I was really surprised that someone sent me a one dollar check. I just kept it and never was able to cash it in. So, I am trying my luck again because I just never know what can happened that perhaps I will get lucky, you know. That is why sometimes I take chances, the not too risky ones but I do try when I think I have a chance.

I found a website for people to see about winning a laptop. There will be 30 laptops to giveaway to also 30 people. So if you are dying for a laptop, this might be your chance to finally have one. What a perfect time for you to win one since it is back to school time. Now if you want to have a chance to win a laptop, visit the Charter communication website so you can make your order and not only get a $100 gas card right away but you will be entered to win a laptop. Charter Internet service provider is giving you a chance to own a laptop that is worth at least $600.00 You better look in to it fast, so you can join the Charter Laptop-a-Day Giveaway contest. Laptops are expensive, so if you can get it for free why not do it that way. All you have to do is order their High Speed Internet Service or any Charter Communication Service that you need, and have a chance to get a laptop soon. That is quick and easy since the contest is within 30 days, after that you can see if you won one of the 30 laptops being given away.

My husband will either buy something out today or we go out for dinner. I used to go halves when I was making a good amount of money online, but now not having a page rank slowed me down and that I am often bored. Also we are buying a house for my parents, so there it goes my money...LOL. Oh, well, that is life of someone who dreamed something big instead of being contented for what she can have at home. That makes me one of the ambitious Pinays...LOL. Anyway, in our situations, there is no way to win, you know. Imagine that you struggle so much living in a poor country and when you leave for another, you still struggle because then you are carrying the burden of your whole family. Where is the life in that? Neither situation will give you a break at all, it is like "a double or nothing deal". Life is definitely difficult when you don't have a lot of money. According to my husband, it's money that keeps people upbeat, meaning happy, though others view it as love conquers all. Well, okay, you have love but can hardly survive, who's happy then? You struggle everyday, you work hard but get very little money out of your hard work, you worry about where your next meal is going to come from, how to feed your children, and how you are going to give them a bright future. The only way it seems, is to be rich! When you have money you only have to fear for your life then...LOL. So yeah, we all want some money but not too much as to the point that we have to have body guards surrounding us everywhere we go, because there is no life there either. How can you be happy if you constantly have to worry about something? I guess it is better if you are only financially able, if you have a lot of money, don't show it, don't look like you have a lot so you have nothing much to worry about. Alright enough of my riddles and redundant ramblings. It's Friday, we are going somewhere.

My husband and I are not exactly active in fitness or to say we keep up with exercising regularly. In fact, due to our inactivity I can't often sleep very well. I have aches and pains that sometimes keeps me awake all night. So we are not very healthy like we think we are just because we weigh more normal than most people. My husband is actually overweight and because of it he is hoping that he can do something to eventually lose weight. The problem with him is; he just stays home too much being retired and all. Well, my husband and I definitely have a lot to learn about being healthy and taking care of ourselves, not to just sit around and maybe develop a deadly disease like a heart attack or stroke. Mostly if you don't do any exercise and you have a weight problem on top of it all; you can easily die from a heart attack. Study shows that It's Not Your Weight That Matters--It's How Much of Your Weight is Fat, so that is what I recently learned to be something we should pay attention to. We need to do something to stay out of trouble especially when we have small children to worry about. Anyway, if you out there have been living an inactive lifestyle like us, you need to find out more about this health issue, because it could be life-saving for you. Get in the zone, know before it's too late!

Press Release:Fitness Assessment: Measure Your Fat, Not Your WeightIt’s not how much you weigh, it’s how much of your weight is fat.Simple test determines your fat content, health risks.

Carpinteria, CA – August 20, 2008 - Within the past week, the American Heart Association, Journal of the American Medical Association and the American Cancer Society have cited new studies that seem to indicate the deteriorating health of Americans may not be related solely to weight--but to declining overall fitness levels.

While it is virtually impossible today to remain oblivious to the importance of exercise for staying healthy, there has been a marked emphasis on “weight” versus “fitness” in western society’s perception of health and wellness. Consequently, many people of “normal” weight continue to be uniformed of the fact that they may still be at risk for elevated levels of blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood sugar if they lead a sedentary (inactive) lifestyle.

It has long been known that there are adverse effects associated with physical inactivity. Adults who are less active are at greater risk of dying of heart disease and developing diabetes, colon cancer, and high blood pressure. Illnesses related to physical inactivity and poor diet cause at least 300,000 deaths each year in the U.S.

Body mass index (BMI), which is calculated through a height-to-weight ratio alone has been the standard method of measuring a person’s “fatness” or “thinness” since 1950’s and 60’s, when obesity was becoming a noticeable medical concern in the U.S. As a result, being at a “normal” BMI weight is not necessarily a reliable indicator of health.

In fact, physically active individuals who have more lean tissue than their sedentary counterparts, as well as taller people, often have a BMI that classifies them as obese when they actually have healthy body fat levels. Likewise, and more dangerous, slender or thin but inactive individuals often have a BMI that puts them within normal, or even underweight, ranges when they actually have high levels of body fat.

Because of the overemphasis on BMI that has developed over the last few decades, these “skinny fat” people often remain unaware that they are at an elevated risk for developing diseases typically associated with obesity until they are already facing health issues.

According to the International Sports Sciences Association, an organization that has educated and certified personal trainers for more than 2 decades, using a quick but reliable method of measuring various body circumferences (e.g. neck, thighs, upper arm, waist, hip) to assess total body fat better determines one’s body composition (fat vs muscle) than BMI alone. Measuring circumferences also provides personal trainers and clients with a very easy way to gauge clients’ progress.

“For people to begin to take a proactive approach to their health, they really need to know what their percentage of fat versus muscle is.” said Dr. Sal Arria, CEO and Co-Founder of the ISSA. Dr. Arria goes on to add, “most studies have shown that by just adding ONE circumference measurement at the waist to BMI, you can better predict a patient’s risk for type 2 diabetes and for all-cause mortality. Waist circumference is also about twice as good at predicting future coronary heart disease than BMI alone.”

The ISSA believes that personal trainers and health clubs should be utilizing circumference measurements as another tool to assess body fat because trainers can achieve proficiency with a few hours of practice and when done properly, the results can be replicated.

Patrick Gamboa, ISSA Vice President of Education, cautions that a person’s true fitness cannot be assessed by body measurements alone. True fitness must also take into account strength, aerobic capacity and flexibility measurements to most accurately predict longevity. Most gyms offer this type of assessment for free to their members.

About the ISSASince 1988, the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA) has provided certification and continuing education to more than 100,000 wellness professionals in 85 countries around the globe. The ISSA offers a core personal training certification as well as eight additional specialized fitness certifications.

It's the opposite in my country that we are buying a house for our parents, but yes, that is because we are better off. Over here, most parents buy a house for their children, but then again, it is because they are rich. So we are just the opposite back home. Oh, well, that is life in a poor country and when you are poor. Anyway, Nora and I are buying a house, we are going halves on it; I mean we share all the costs. My brother in law Nora's husband made it all possible since he is putting up the money for Nora's half and for mine. Only, of course, I pay my brother in law back for my share. How nice because he is willing to help and that is one of the best things about having a brother in law who is kind enough to do so. We are all happy that we will finally have a house in the city. Before we can only rent and way back then lived on a farm and small village. We own a farm and a good size house there but my parents decided that it is time to upgrade...LOL. Really, it is because my siblings can only go to college in the city nearby. If it is not that my siblings will need a place to stay in the city for a long time. We would not have to feel like we need to buy a house in the city. We all like it though since whoever can visit home will have a place to stay and save the money from having to get a hotel room that costs just too much. Yes, too much when you don't have a lot of money to spare.

I can still remember the other year when our AC conditioning stopped working, my, that was awful. We had to run around just looking for parts, and, of course had to have someone fix it for us. Now if ever we have any more trouble, I am thankful that I found a website where we can find what we would need. There is a huge selection of AC Conditioning parts that we can choose from, in case something goes wrong with our AC Conditioning again. To mention a few; the company is offering many different AC Conditioning parts like the Air conditioning compressor and A/C compressor, Auto A/C compressor. What we like the best is that we can make an order and have it shipped to us for free. Shipping is free, and so how anyone can beat that? That's convenient because most of time you can't have a free shipping if you shop online. There is a huge selection of AC parts and quality service, but only if one visits the site can find out more about the other benefits.

This is another tag about increasing blogs' rankings in the search engine. Well, I do hope this helps even though I have been noticing that you can have a dormant blog and get a page rank anyway...LOL. I noticed that because my siblings started a blog and then stopped updating and still their blogs received page ranks. Now that goes to show you that not everyone that works hard with increasing their rankings will be rewarded. This page rank issue is becoming silly because one could be just playing having a blog posting silly and nonsense posts and still get a page rank...LOL. That is why I stopped working hard with trying to get a page rank and decided to just let the chips fall where they may. I got tired of chasing the page rank here and finally gave up on it. Okay, folks, thanks for visiting here. See yah around!

The tag that Nita passed on to me is below...thanks Nitz!

Most website owners and bloggers wants to improve their search engine rankings. So what is backlinks? Backlinks are incoming links to a website or web page or a blog. In the search engine optimization (SEO) world, the number of backlinks is one indication of the popularity or importance of that website or page through other measure such as the pagerank. Backlinks are also known as incoming links, inbound links, inlinks, and inward links. The number of backlinks is an indication of the popularity or importance of the website or blog. Back links are very important and they help increase your blog or site’s ranking. You might also noticed that pages with back links are fast indexed by search engines and this will increase the number of back links to your main web site automatically. The more back links that show up on the web the higher your website will be ranked in the search engines, that’s why backlinks very important.

When it comes to gift-giving I often go for giving a gift card or cash since I am not very good with finding the right gift to give to people. See, I often wind up wasting money when someone say "I don't care for this item and/or that I am allergic to this", so sometimes I would rather give someone money. Now these Visa Gift Cards are neat because anyone can personalize the image of their gift card. You no longer have to give just a plain gift card but an extra fancy gift card with your very own personalized image. You can even customize your gift card with your favorite athletes during this 2008 Beijing Olympic. Perhaps you can pick one of Michael Phelps' pictures for your gift card eh.

I watched Michael Phelps in his race swimming, and according to his body measurements and ability he is like a human speed boat. Wow, he is a fast swimmer, and I was just joking with my husband saying that "if you swim with Michael Phelps as your opponent, you might as well forget it as you don't stand a chance"...LOL. See, he is built for speed because of his big upper body and small lower body; he has short legs which are good for speed. When my husband watch Michael Phelps racing, boy, he could not help to say "Power it!". He certainly made history winning so many gold medals. Imagine he won 8 gold medals-that's a lot! He definitely took the swimming world by storm. He is one of the greatest! By the way, while I was looking for a photo of him, I found his official website in case you would also like to see more of him. People have to live and learn, and pay attention to what works; just like with Michael Phelps, you have to be built like him to make it in the swimming world or be a fast swimmer-at least that is what they say. My say is that he is a great swimmer period, and that he is such an adorable and sweet looking young man-especially when he is swimming...LOL. He looks sharper when in the pool wearing his swimming gears and all; he just looks gorgeous-I think so anyway.

Here is one of the things I don't quite understand just yet, since I have not gone to school and studied anything related to computer. It is about what my siblings who graduated from computer programming are into lately. My sister was just asking me about what multimedia application I might know that perhaps can help her with converting an audio file. Well, I really had no idea what she was talking about and was confused by it. However, today I learned that what she is looking for is exactly this all-in-one multimedia application software I just found online. It is a downloadable software that can enable my siblings convert their audio and video files into different audio and video formats. So, how nice that I can tell them about it, and now they will have a way to get their projects and work done easily. My brother also burns CD all the time, and so, such software that helps with converting MP3 to WAV is just what he would need. It wouldn't hurt to try it because free trial is available. I wish I know more about what they do, so I can also take advantage of the free trial...LOL.

We are planning about going fishing before the summer is over. Right now we are buying fishing equipments. I bought a lady's complete fishing kit for me as I will be going with the gangs to fish soon. Tiana is especially very excited. So we might enjoy our time...LOL. Anyway, at this time we are staying in the house very much of the time. We also plan to check out the swimming pool nearby us to see how long it will stay open. Anyway, gotta go for now.

I am not too busy, I am just bored and have been lazy about updating my blog often. It is really boring when you don't have a lot to share, then not having a page rank kills it most of all. So, oh, life is boring right now with me, and I guess our summer is not as great as I anticipated. Maybe I will get myself busy with going to the Macomb College and teach myself English-the ESL program available through the computer. That is what I can do for now since I don't really like to leave my baby girl at home for too long. Okay, this is all for now. We will be looking forward to the Olympic eh.
